“Humility, reverence, compassion, forbearance, sacrifice and self-control are the qualities that reveal the outcome of the true education.”

Whatever creature comes to you, human or otherwise, treat it with consideration.

What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.

Education must award self-confidence, the courage to depend on one’s own strength.

The ideal of service and the urge to practice it form the very heart of education.

The end of knowledge is wisdom The end of culture is perfection The end of wisdom is freedom The end of education is character. And character consists of eagerness to renounce one’s selfish greed.

Education must open the eyes and enable them to recognise the One behind the many.

Character is the most precious gift of education.

True education consists in the cultivation of the heart.

Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the sleeping humanity in one’s heart.

Education should ennable the students, but instead it is debasing them. Instead of shaping the young into diamonds, it is turning them into coals. It is not bringing transformation in them, It is not bestowing wisdom.

The father, the mother and the teacher are the three primarily responsible for moulding the future of the country.

Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.

The objective of education should be impressed on the children’s minds. The academic education of today is shallow and useless because it has no value orientation.

Unless knowledge is transformed into wisdom, and wisdom is expressed in character; education is a wasteful process.

The cultivation of Love is the greatest need today.

To every one of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than its surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite.
